Water Stocks News ; BioteQ (TSX:BQE) Completes Commissioning of Minto Water Treatment Plant
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-- Water news- Investorideas.com water stocks newswire, http://www.water-stocks.com/ ) - BioteQ Environmental Technologies, Inc. (TSX:BQE), a leader in the treatment of industrial waste water, has completed commissioning of the new water treatment plant at the Minto Mine site in the Yukon, owned by Minto Explorations Ltd., a subsidiary of Capstone Mining. The plant produces treated water that meets design criteria. Continuous operations will commence when the mine's water use licence amendments are approved.

This is a design-supply-operate project where BioteQ has provided an integrated package of services including process design, plant equipment and installation, commissioning services, and ongoing fee-based water treatment operations at the site for the next three operating seasons. The operating fee includes a water treatment fee based on volume of water treated, plus fees for labour. The design-supply-operate structure of the project has expedited the project execution, reduced implementation costs, and reduced project risk. As the operator of the plant, BioteQ provides a process guarantee that the plant performs to the design specifications.

For 2010, BioteQ's goal is to add two new plants to its operations portfolio. The Minto plant is the first of the two new plants; the second new plant is anticipated to be in China, subject to final review and approval of the design report, which is in progress.
